Metallic Glass/PVDF Magnetoelectric Laminates for Resonant Sensors and Actuators: A Review
(MDPI, 2017-05-31)
Among magnetoelectric (ME) heterostructures, ME laminates of the type Metglas-like/PVDF (magnetostrictive+piezoelectric constituents) have shown the highest induced ME voltages, usually detected at the magnetoelastic ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Polymer Optical Fibers Doped with Perylene-Derivatives for Fluorescent Lighting Applications
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Four different dye-doped polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been fabricated following a two-step fabrication process of preform extrusion and fiber drawing, using poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as host material and dye ...
Characterization of Chromatic Dispersion and Refractive Index of Polymer Optical Fibers
(MDPI, 2017-12-20)
The chromatic dispersion and the refractive index of poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been characterized in this work by using a tunable femtosecond laser and a Streak Camera. The characterization ...
Optical Characterization of Doped Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymer-Optical-Fibers
(MDPI, 2017-03)
The emission properties of a graded-index thermoplastic polymer optical fiber and a step-index thermosetting one, both doped with rhodamine 6G, have been studied. The work includes a detailed analysis of the amplified ...
119Sn Mössbauer Spectroscopy for assessing the local stress and defect state towards the tuning of Ni-Mn-Sn alloys
(AIP, 2017-05-02)
[EN] The influence of defects and local stresses on the magnetic properties and martensitic transformation in Ni50Mn35Sn15 is studied at macroscopic and atomic scale levels. We show that both the structural and magnetic ...
Retrieving the thermal diffusivity and effusivity of solids from the same frequency scan using the front photopyroelectric technique
(IOP Science, 2017-09-14)
The photopyroelectric (PPE) technique in the front configuration consists in illuminating one
surface of a pyroelectric slab while the other surface is in contact with the test sample. This
method has been widely used ...
Cloud morphology and dynamics in Saturn’s northern polar region
(Elsevier, 2017-07-29)
We present a study of the cloud morphology and motions in the north polar region of Saturn, from latitude ∼ 70°N to the pole based on Cassini ISS images obtained between January 2009 and November 2014. This region shows a ...
A planetary-scale disturbance in a long living three vortex coupled system in Saturn's atmosphere
(Elservier, 2017-12-22)
The zonal wind profile of Saturn has a unique structure at 60°N with a double-peaked jet that reaches maximum zonal velocities close to 100 ms−1. In this region, a singular group of vortices consisting of a cyclone surrounded ...
